"This report describes a multibeam bathymetric survey of Rangiroa Lagoon and nearshore areas around the atoll rim, from the northwest (near Tivaru) to the northeast (near Ataiaheo motu). The survey was a component of the Supporting Disaster Risk Reduction in Pacific Overseas Countries and Territories project, conducted by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community Applied Geoscience Division, in collaboration with the Urban planning Department, and the Lighthouses and Beacons Service. This project component called for an investigation of the nearshore and lagoon seabed of Rangiroa Atoll. The survey was carried out using a multibeam echosounder over a period of six months (July to December 2011)."
